National Alliance for Medication Assisted (NAMA) Recovery

National Alliance of Methadone Advocates, Inc. {dba} National Alliance for Medication Assisted (NAMA) Recovery NAMA Recovery is an organization composed of medication assisted treatment patients and health care professionals that are supporters of quality opiate agonist treatment. We have thousands of members worldwide with a network of international affiliated organizations and chapters in many places in the United States. The primary objective of NAMA Recovery is to advocate for the patient in treatment by destigmatizing and empowering medication assisted treatment patients. First and foremost, NAMA Recovery confronts the negative stereotypes that impact on the self esteem and worth of many medication assisted treatment patients with a powerful affirmation of pride and unity. NAMA's Goals: - To eliminate discrimination toward methadone & buprenorphine patients - To create a more positive image about methadone & buprenorphine maintenance treatments - To help preserve patients' dignity and their rights - To make treatment available on demand to every person who needs it - To empower medication assisted treatment patients with a strong public voice At NAMA Recovery, we'd like people to focus on the success stories of methadone: patients who became successful lawyers or construction workers, patients who rebuilt their families and are now productive members of society. There are thousands of us.
